The members comprising tbe various de
partments el tbe association held meetings
yesterday. The kindergarten drptrtment
of Instruction was addressed by Mrs. Sarah
Cooper, of tula city. Sbe compared tbe
kindergarten system with that of the com
mon school, and declared they were a
necetsary adjunct te each ether. President
Falreblld, of Kansas, read tbe annual ad
dreaa entitled, " Seuie Limitation In In
dustrial Training" te the members of tbe de
partment of Industrial training. A piper en
philosophy in colleges and universities
was read In the department of hlgber In
struction by M. L. Darrls, of Concord,
Mas Prof. Nightingale, of Chicago, en

the country favor it.
At te day's session, D-. II K. Buehrle,
of Lancaster, Pa , superintendent of tbe
schools of that city, read hla paper en "Prao "Prae "Prao

of tbe body sllll exist?, and as tbe con
teat becomes mere and mere Intense, new
one and new the ether predominates, and
top pepularldeal of education takes sbspe
accordingly. "Practical Education," mere

their comparative Inditferen'-e teslnjd, the
Swedish ter in et manual training,-, designed
te promote mental culture through muscu
lar dexterity, as well at Irein the frequent
allusions te the pecuniary profits accruing
te these who attend tbese schools made by
the advocates of industrial education. Tbe
trne tendency is eUatly revealed in tbe laat
report of tbe commissioner of education
where we read that 7 803 students attend
tbe agricultural celleger, 17,030 the scien
tific soheols, 13,300 the Industrial training
school, and 47,170 the business colleges et
tbe land ; and as it conscious that these
members de net snfilelently present tbe
state of tbe case, the commissioner adds:
" The Inlerenee aeerea te be justified that

and these remarks atterd a striking Illus
tration of "tbe tendency of a prosperous
democracy towards au overestimating or
material auecesa and a corresponding In
difference te tbe things et tbe mind."
Hence tbe general demand for changes in
the course of study In tbe public schools

as lead directly te money making; there

before the atsembled department of super

fUwriss of the students devoted te litera

the moral auNectsef atuuy. Twotbeuaaud

lOK schools, rowing and cooking schools
are monopolizing tbeattentlonertbepeople,
forming tbe burden of pedagogical llteia
ture, and tbe mPjecta of discussion at edu
cational conventions. The reasons ler this
popular view are net far te seek. Ours Is a
young nation, and It la characteristic of
youth te exaggerate, te go te extremes, te
endeavor only te acquire.
TENDENCIES Of THE AtlE.
Again, the nineteenth century U em

learnea or tne stars or neavee as te leave
no time te learn the way te heaven. Se
completely successful have the Titans
been In tnetr warfare with Jove tbat net
only tbe thunderbolts descend harmlessly
Inte the besom of their mother earth, but
the very llghtnlnga run their errands, con
vey their messages, their slightest whispers,
Illumine their dwellings and carry them
and their all wherever the passengers list,
ae that
"With the thunder talked as friend te friend
And wevehls garland of 'tbellgatnlng'a wing"
ceases te be poetle and becomes strictly
aclentlfie language. Se lavishly has
natural science revealed her cbarma tbat
the most ardent wooing et her seams

aueh heavenly armor has she equipped
her ohamplens tbat conquest has oeeuine
mere sport, and they have pressed forward
Inte tbe very penetralia el creation.
(6) This intimacy with nature, this pro
found Insight Inte her operations, naturally
lessens man's contact with the spiritual.
He loses interest In religious dogma and
tbe mlraolesei the saints. One aclenee after
another haa net only resolved Inte natural
operatlena what seemed miraculous, but
baa tended te make him undervalue the
Ideal, the spiritual, the supernatural. The
search for " tbe whonee " has been ae In
tenae aa te leave neither time nor thought
for " tbe whither." Men have traced di di

Helves no strength te project ascent.
(c) mued, tee, has eeen tne constant de
mand upon tbe senses tbat the ether men

have been largely neglected se mucb se,
Indeed, aa te produce partial atrophy.
Hence no great artist flourishes among us ;
we beast no "l.soeeon ;" our philosophy Is
an exotle and our etblca Is Imported.
(rt) Add te these causes tbat our very
nature Is te a large exteut of the earth,eartby ;
that the demaeds of tbe body are loud and
continuous, and hence prevaleut ; tbat In

should be accepted aa a new evangel, the
gospel et the nineteenth century.
(e) Ner must It be forgotten that educa

the masses the very partially educated.
These, first or all, most keenly reel the
pressure te provide for their bodily wants.

and of appreciating the utility or necessity
of ministering te them. Fer, aa the har
mony of sweet sounds Is best percelved by
a cultured ear, even se tbe beauties aud at
tractiveness et truth are most clearly per
ceived and meat keenly felt by him whose
aeul is richest in it. Here, tee, tbe law of
gravitation applies.
(). Finally, the army of tbe unem
ployed, especially In tbe cities, where tbe
cry et "an education for a living " Is loud
est (one rarely hears It In the rural dlr
tilcts), furnishes a oenstant feres In tbe
same direction. Tbat the masses should
demand wbat they are pleased te call "A
praotleal education," "An education for a
living," need tborefero surprise no one,
but tne expediency et granting tbe demand
should be rigidly demonstrated before It lis
granted ; and as it Is tbe prerogative of
clvlllzjd peeple te arrive at truth by tbe aid
of reason without relying wholly en the ex ex
penBlve method el experiment, it la pro
posed te point out the inexpediency of
granting wbat tbe people ask" au educa
tion for a living."
l'lIY.SlCAI. AND Sl'iniTUAI. ADVANTMIES.
I. Man's bodily structure, tbe location
and arrangement or the various porttena of
tbe brain according te their functions, pro
claims the superiority, el the spiritual ever
tbe pbysleal, or tbe Intellectual ever tbe
mecbauical faculties. Tbe limit or a i van
tage from manual labor te Intellectual oul eul
ture Is seen reached and as tbe physicsl
admits of no lncroase whlle the Increase or
tbe mental powers la virtually unlimited,
tbe Inexpediency et relying en advantages
te intellectual development se limited in
aoepe and application la evident. When
we near in mmu inai iue vau nuuwe
thinkers are often gifted with the most
stolid mnseular structure and tbe werat
physical constitutions, we may wen eali
in queitlen any great dependence et mental
en bodily culture. Ne athlete haa been
fatuous aa a supuler mental or moral
power, and no grtat lntellcct hfei never at
tributed bis pre ermnene3 te athletics. It
was thelr open air, tbeir street life, their
freedom, their contact with men that de
veloped the marvelleus acuteneaa and
subtlety of tbe Greek mind. When we
remember that It was only after mathe
matics east off tbe fetters Imposed by geo
metrical lerm and adopted tbe method of
algebrale analysis that the greatest scien
tific applications could be made, we may
well hesitate te depend for Intellectual pro
gress en muscular training. Indeed, but a
very few years age tbe question, " Is in
dustrial Instruction pedageglcally neoes neees
sarv. Is It superfluous, or Is It actually ln
furious 1 ' was raised and discussed In tbe
Bjned or tbe Canten et .urlcb, the very
cradle et Industrial education. Nothing
would seem te be mere natural tban tbat
Inventive genius should manifest Itselt aa a
result et manual training, and yet nothing
Is mere eertaln tban that ours has been the
landet inventions and mechanical excel
lence, far outstripping these countries In
wblcn. manual training sheets have long
existed, thus showing mentsl activity aa
the source of muscular dexterity, and prev
ing tbat wbat a boy learns eepenus at least
aa mucb en wbat be brings te tbe workshop
as en what it eilers mm. ir tne mremesi
places In our machine shops are occupied
by foreigners, this Is due te the lnsane
polley adopted by trades unlena when they
limited tbe number el apprentices and tbua
prevented American yeutb their own
cblldren from learning tbe trades.
ii. The posseralen of material wealth la
Inimical te creative ability In art or te
moral power lu life. Ray Lankeater'a
assertion tbat " any new set et oeudttiona
occurring te an animal which render lta
loea and aaiety very easily auaium inui
te lead, as a rule, te defeneratien, " helda
geed with man also. Ne wealthy nation,
no wealthy portion nt any nation has ever
displayed extraordinary moral virtue or
creative ability. Tne history of tbe world
furnishes ample proof of this assertion.
Tbe highest spiritual life has been devel
eped amlQ privaueuB ana in the wilder
ness. Moses, Elijah and Jehn tbe BaptUt
In tbe religious, and Franklin and Lincoln
In political Ilia are conspicuous examples
et Individuals se developed, while tbe
mountain republics In all agea provethe
trutb among nations ; and en tbe ether
band,w arm climates, stimulating tbe bed lly
growth and hastening maturity, withdraw
tbe vital energlea from tbe mental aotlvl aetlvl
ties, and tbe mind la stunted. Even Schop Schep
enhauer says: Tbat a man may cultivate
lefty Ideas and turn hla thoughts from
time te eternity, that hla bettir conscious
ness may move wuuin mm, sorrow,
Buffering and dlatreaa are as neceaaeryte
him a ballast te a ship.
m. But this cry for tbe pras'.lcal In edu
catien Is raised loudest by these who have
no one te be educated, or who having, are
quite willing tbat the children or tbe peer
kceuld have tbe preference la this reipact,
Ths private Institutions of learning In
whieh theac-called higher clasaes of society
are educated de net seem te be very anxious
tbat their pupils shall enjoy the Intellec
tual advantages said te arias from manual
training. Neither Cernell nor ML Hei
ycke, where something of the kind was
long since attempted, lay mueh stress en
this feature aa regards mind culture, and
when careiully examined It will appear
tbat the movement la largely in the direc
tien of keeping the peer in their sphere, as
some please te term It, and of enabling
children te become self supporting very
early in life, lfaat aueh a tendeneyla down
ward, tbat the consequent result wilt net
be what la expected, an Intelligent body
of workmen, but a degraded mats of
operatives, needs no argument The whole
movement seems te be only another
method of having the government assume
charge or domeatie affairs and of narrow
ing parental reapensiDiiuy. it la tne
direction in which anelent Etypt, China
uu ffjru uava (veitju uu-auwiiubu,
leading te caste and stagnation. It will
first make tbe public soheol a aobeol for
tbe peer, and then, lnevltablv, a peer
school. Bays C. D. Warner : " Unless the
experience of tbe agea la misleading the
tendency of ' tbe praotleal ' In all educa
tion la a downward and material one, and
the hlgheat civilizations must continue te
depend upon a pure scholarship and upon
what are called abstract ideas. Even ae
praotleal a man aa Secrates found the
natural aelencea Inadequate te the Inner
needs of tbe aeul."
" As te education generally, It may be
said tbat while for the preaent the popular
favor et tbe state university depends upon
it being practical tbe time will come
when It will be seeu that the highest ser
vice It can render the atate la by uphold
ing pure scholarship without the leaat
material object."
iv. That man's bspplnoisdepends netfn
tbe abundance of tbe thlegs that he hatb,
but en wbat bels, haa bean recognized In
all ages, it was Schepenhauer who said :
"The greatest possible enjerment man
may bave is the intuitive knowledge of
trutb." It was Carlyle wbe aaked :
" Could you banish yourself Irem all tbat
Is interesting te your mind forget the his
tory, the glorious Institutions, the noble
principles or Old Soetland, that you may
eat a belter dinner, perhaps T" Frem tbe
very throne of the late emperor et Germany
cornea tbe admonition : " Only genera
tion growing up upon a Bound basis In the
fear of Ged and In simplicity of moralaean
overcome dangera which in tlmea of rapid
economical mevement arise for the entire
community through examples set' by
highly luxurious lndlvldutls. We must
ne careiui that through one-sided efferta
for lnorensed knowledge, tbe work of edu
cation net be neglected." It waa tbe
enemy el mankind who said : "Command
tbat these atenea be made bread," and tbe
answer of Him who la tbe Truth was,
" Man docs net llve by bread alone."
UTILITY OF EDUCATION.
v. Man's education aheuld lead net only
te creation, but also te preservation. The
ruins et piat ages bury many a noble crea
tion worthy et perennial exlatenee. This
very destruction of the geed proves the de
fectiveness of these civilizations. The ac
cumulation of tbe produets of Industry
el wesltb, or works or beauty and art, la
but the supplying et luel te tbe political
Incendiaries et the future. It la a geed
only provided tbe lneendlaries de net
exist. There are no anarchists In Iceland,
and te tbe patriarchs of Ltpland tbe dyna
mite Is unknown. Tbe Alpine shepherds
de net organize the commune, and the
Areadlawas net disturbed by aoelallstto
riots. But when enormous wealth Ilea
alluringly before belnga In human form,
wltb human passions net controlled by
equally exalted Intellectual and moral
puwers, riot destruction and death In
evitable appear.
Tbe immedlate danger te our oeuntry la
net tbat tbe people may net be able te niake
a living no country ever fell because of a
want of productive capacity In lta people
but tbat tbelr moral aud Intellectual eulture
may be ae neglected that they may cheese
tbe wrong motbed, or the wrong object et
lire. The tramp's assortlen tbat the world
ewes blm a living Is net true. Tbe mendi
cant, the worthless, the thrlltlea, and tbe
consequently werkleis, tbe anarchist aa
well aa tbe socialist, prove there Is a
lack net of Industrial, but of moral educa
tion. Tbey manage te make a living, but
they de net knew bow te live. Tbe em
ployment of pewerful natural agents Tl
tani.i forces baa a lendeney te eause man
te refuse te exert his muscular Btreugtb, te
pride himself net en what be la or can de,
nut en wbat be can oetupel ethers te de for
him. Hence the true praotleal education te
be given by tbe state must wake preemi
nently f r morality. It must prevent In
justice, which Invariably brlega popular
Irenzy in lta train. Fer tbe language of
tbe human heart has ever been
" Flectere'st nequee suporea
Acheron te me vebe."
vi. The great problems still remaining
and new pressing ler solution are social
and moral. Increasing tbe number of busi
ness colleges will baruly tend te lessen tbe
number et emigrants te Canada ; tbe
ability te run a latbe or te Invent an im
nrnvml rnaner will hardlv decrease the
number or divorces ; additional cotton andl
woolen mills will net sanctify the marriage
relation ; new beveragea ohemleally com
pounded will net purity amusements and
easy transportation transports away from
ratner than tewarda the observance of tbe
Sabbatb ; for the Sunday trains are net run
te tbe temples, but te tbe groves and tbe
blgh places, and while the prepbet la In tbe
bely place with his Ged, tbe people Bit
down te eat and drink and rise up te play.
Tbe constantly lnereasln abhorrence of
war and tbe consequent reduotten of the
agencies et destruction as well aa tbe al
most lnfinite augmentation of tbe produc
tive energlea due te Invention and science
render new fields of employment necessary,
" A New Yerk elevated railroad advertised
for thirty engineers one day last week ; the
appllcauts numbered ever five hundred. It
also asked for thirty rlremen ; one thou
sand responded te tbe call. It needed three
hundred ether men, aueh as conductors,
gatemen and ether grades ; for a period of
ten daya the office of the company was be
sieged by applicants," demonstrating tbat
production te-day exceeds consumption and
tbat merely Increasing tbe productive oa ea
paclty of tbe people will only aggravate tbe
evil. Tbe task set befote us Is first of all
te educate tbe publle that tbey may have
higher wants, tbe supplying of which call
Inte requisition higher kinds of activity, re
quiring mere time ter preparation. With
tne reduction In the hours or labor must

Invoked te ebarm away and lighten the
evils unavoidable in life. Tbe alternative
ta before us ; either riotous living and con
aequent destructive warfare or tbe demand
for and tbe creation of lasting forma of
beauty.
vn But tbat which mere especially
constitutes the essential work et tbe pub
He schools Is political education. Tlme
was when such a statement would have
aroused fierce opposition ; wben tbe charge
tbat tbe schools are educating for peliti
cal life would have been Indignantly de
nied, but the day has arrived when tbe
necessity ei euucating ter eittrensnip is
generally reoegnizsd. The people are be
ginning te realize aa never before tbat
they bave assumed tbe solution or tbe
grsndest pollileal problem ever attempted
and that te aelve It successfully is net
within the capacity el ordinary men, or
an ordinary population.
They bave already leund It neeeasary te

European nations. Tue American eagle

"An asylum for the oppressed or all na
tions." Anether portion et our people,
whether justly or unjustly, complain that
freedom of religion is denied them, and no
ereat amount of foresight la re u a I red te see
tnst etber very great social queatlena are
rapidly presenting themselves and will
aoen demand aolutlen.
enEAT SOCIAL EVILS
The first among tbeae la the distribution
et capital. Coleaaal fortunes by tbe side or
hopeless and terrlele poverty is evidence et
blundering net In production, but In dls.
trlbullen, In education and consequently In
government and religion. This atata of
th'nga has brought ruin te every ceuntrv.
sad the eaespa or ours from a like fate can
be secured only by superior political virtue
among tbe people wlileh will enable them
te answer the queatlen, "Am I my
brother's keeper T" In a mere satisfactory
manner.
Neither scientific nor the se-called "prao "prae "prao
teoal" edncatlen will avail here. Ne ooaer eoaer oeaer
vatlonof nature teacbea etbleal truths,"
and tbe doctrine of "the aurvlval of tbe
fittest," lnatead of tending te eld. aug testa
rather the destruction el the weak and the
dependent, the despising or charity and tbe
wurablp et force. The problem definitely
placed before tbe American people la hew
te prevent the accumulation of capital In
the hands of tbe few te aueh an extent as
te endanger the publle welfare by lu
oenaequent power and rendet the
many leas and leas capable of helping
themselves by legal tneanr, tbus obliging
them te meet power represented by
dollars with tbat represented by muscle.
"The Mlnv that faltbtullv tudeetbthe Doer.
his throne shall be established forever," la
no less true when tbat king la tbe whole
people. Anarchism la but an expression of
despair of obtaining aubalantlsl Justice
under tbe forma et law. Te prevent auch
a catastrophe, especially In a free oeuntry,
the many must be politically educated ae
aa te apply and endure reatrlatlve measures
net theugbt el by the fathers.
The heathenish doctrine, "every man for
himself," must be replaced by tbat nobler
Christian, "bear ye one another's burdens,"
my one for all. Tbe chureh may teach
that this be dene from love te Ged; tbe
school roust demonstrate lta aclentlfle and
hence political neeesalty.
A people aoedueated will abolish mono
poly or rather never allow It te coruS'lnte
exlatenee aa being of the very essence of
selfishness. They will oppose te tbe almost
unlimited Increase et wealth and oenaequent
power made possible by modern aelenca tbe
absolutely unlimited increase In political
wisdom and virtue. But the society el the
future beeaute et lta oempaotnesi and con
sequent solidarity, will etler new problems
te these who deatre te oenserve political
freedom. Modern meana of transporta
tion and communication render city life
tbe rule and oeuntry life tbe exception.
Hew greatlv thla endangers political free
dom is readily aeen. Logically, therefore,
training for citlrennblp produelng a pepu
latlen capable net only te legislate
but te obey lta own legislation af
fords tbe only legitimate remedy. Muscu
lar atrength and even roilgleus sub
ordination, aa consonant with despotism as
wltb freedom, will net aufUee. And this
close contact of man with man, thla inti
mate asoelatlon, endangera personal lib
erty. Thenei arise queatlena as te the
natural rights and tbelr enjoyment; aate
interference with the Individual for tbe
geed et the community ; aa te religious
liberty, Sunday legislation, prohibition,
the honera and tbe rewarda of labor
and atrlkes. Manual training schools
and Industrial education afford no
remedy here, threw no light upon tbeae
questions'. Their successful solution is
possible only te a people se educated tbat
net only tbe meat insignificant movements
te whieh the events of dally life prompt

During the discussion eftheMllla bill in

or two changes made In the bill. Heman

Interested htmself In tbe matter, secured a
slight advanee en the present rates of duty
by making the packages In which the
cement oemoa te thla country pay an ail-
valerem duty.
Mr. Tracy alae had a change made in
tbe dutlea en anallne dyea. Ha showed in
a short speech tbat the Republican tarltl
of 1833, In which a duly of S3 per cent, waa
placed en tbe dyea and 30 per cent, en
tbe raw material, had practically ruined
tbe dye Industry In thla country. He
therefore proposed that the raw material
be allowed te oemo In free and the duty
en dyea be retained at 35 per cent., and
It waa agroed te.
Mr. Ames J. Cummlnga bad Paris white

oest of tbelr raw material, te relieve them
selves from overproduction by consigning
their surplus Btecka at comparatively alight
saorifice te foreign markets, te which thtlr
cheapneaa has already Introduced them.
They are net compelled, aa we
are, te discriminate In their choice

wools In any oendltlon, wbether unwashed,
washed or scoured, with roference only te

upon tbe agricultural Interests, and the
labor of tbe countries whieh adept It, we
am net at at prosent called upon te con
sider. This high duty la net the only dlfileulty
with whieh our manufacturers requiring
foreign wools bave te oentond. It is held
that cemplete protection te the most Im
portant branch of our wool growing Indus
try, tbe merino sheep husbandry, roqulres
tbat washed wools In elasa 1 should be sub
ject te deuble the duty et unwashed wool,
and tbe duty en aoeurod wool aheuld be
three tlmea tbe amount upon tbe unwashed
wools an arrangement which cempeta the
importatlena et elass 1 wools te be tn the
greasy state, necessitating the transportation
ebargea en Irem two and a quarter te thiee
peunda of greaae and dirt in tbe wool re
quired for a pound et cletb. The elleet et
the compulsion te buy greaay wool and
J lay a heavy apeclfie duty en its Impurities
a that tbe American manufacturers are
thereby obliged te give untrue preforeneo
te light condition evor fineness and tbe
ether valuable qualities of wools offering
In foreign markets. Our manufacturers,
moreevor, are obliged by thla restriction
te oenoentrate tbelr oempetitton lu foreign
marketa upon the always small proportion
of tbe lightest unwaahed wools, while our
foreign competitors', having te pay duty
neither upon wool nor en greaaeand dirt,
can buy the heavy wools In the market
tu mueh better advantage.
Te these considerations It should be
added tbat tbe high speallle duty en cloth,
lng wools a duty Irrespeotlve or tbe oest
praetlcally exeludea the cheap and abund
ant clothing wools of Seuth America, and
by freeing them from our competition for
their purchase make thorn mucb cheaper
than tbey would otherwise be te the manu
facturers of France, Belgium and Germany
wbe work them up into clothea and stuffs
by tbe obeapeat labor in Europe.
It maybe aald tbat a remedy for theso
dllllcultlea Is te be found In tbe exclusive
uae of the domestic wools, whieh will be
abundantly supplied under due protection.
Te tbla we reply that neither our own ooun eoun oeun
try nor any ether In the world deea or can
produce te advantage wools of all klnda
and grades. Experience under high pro
tection of wool in tbla country ler ever
thirty years bad demenatrated that our
domestto wool growers find It te thelr advan
tage te produce only the staple wools re
quired for tbe ordinary range of woolen
fabrics; and aa these labrlca will
alwavB be In demand, thev build
up their flecks a work et tlme
for tbe produetlon only or the fleeces whlei
will be profitable for a long series of years.
This system, although providing admira
ble raw material for common goods, la In
compatible with the variety requlred ter
tbe diversified and highly advanced manu
facture which should be our aim. Tbe
Amenean manufacturer, te compete with
the fabrics et ether nations In the end leaa
variety demanded by our times, must bave
tbe power et aoleetlng a portion el thla raw
material from ail the world's sources or
